So sorry it's been so long since I updated. I just don't have a whole lot to report. Brady is FULL of energy. So much that I wish I could have some of it! It's wonderful to see him bouncing around though. We are getting ready for Christmas. We got our tree up and Brady "helped" (as best he could). He wanted to put candy canes on the tree so we did that too. He has eaten about half of them though. We are looking forward to being with family this Christmas at home, not Memphis. One year ago this Saturday Brady had major surgery. I remember that day well. The surgery took about 6 hours. The phone would ring in the waiting room and I would jump for the update. I'm not sure how we made it through those days after surgery with the epidural, ng tube in his nose and catheter. Some of you may remember me updating at 2 in the morning while I was on my shift of watching him to be sure he didn't pull out anything! We made it through it and Brady, as always, did awesome! It's a happy memory though because we did it as a team with our family.
Brady was in the church Christmas program last Sunday. He was a lamb, and a lively one at that. He was everywhere!! I told him that a lamb crawls and says " baaa" . He did that about 3 or 4 times. The rest of the time he was roaming around. I was getting a little worried that some people wouldn't find it funny but most did I think. While we were sitting waiting for him to go up he kept saying " I want to be a lamb now". It was cute. By the end of the program his shoes were off and he played someones recorder. I think he had a great time!!!
Jarred and I have had some extra days with Brady which is always nice! Tiresome, but nice! We both have some vacation days we have to use up soon so we have been trying to do that. We have also had some snow lately. A couple inches here and there. The weather is calling for some ice tomorrow so I'm glad I'm off and don't have to drive the 20 minutes to work. Jarred only works about a mile away. Hopefully it won't be to bad!
Brady will go to clinic again on Monday morning. I have been taking him about every 2 weeks for labwork. He has to have hisd finger pricked everytime now since he doesn't have his line anymore. He does very well with it but I would love for him to get a break.
Well, like I said there really isn't much to report. We are having fun with Brady and getting ready to have a big Christmas together! Thanks for checking in on us and praying for Brady and our family!
Hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas!
Love,
Jarred, Whitney and Brady
